Title: Setting up a Canon printer on anetwork with a wireless router
Post by: ojas25 on April 20, 2009, 12:13:29 AM

Does anyone know how to do this.  The printer is a Canon MX850 with ethernet port but canon tell me that the print has no IP address assigned to it. So hopw do you go about to do this assign a IP address. Would like to connect it to a network of two computers through a wireless router.

Are these both laptop computers?

You'll need to access the router and assign the IP there, then use the software that came with the printer to configure it in your computers. At least that's how I had to set up my Xerox printer on my network.
